The United States Gubernatorial election of 1826 a multi-way contest wchich produced no clear victor until after several electoral ballots were cast. Adams fared poorly in part due to allegation that he favored a monarchy headed by the Adams family, which was extremely unpopular at the time. Jackson was seen as populist and reformer, so did well in much of the nations rual areas. Due to the fact that electoral districts are created based on a states initial population, most of Jacksons states had fewer electors than probably should have been chosen. Crawford and Clay performed best in their home regions, as did Adams.
